The fallout continues from the cancellation of Dillian Whyte vs. Otto Wallin last week after the Brixton heavyweight picked up a shoulder injury.
In a recent interview with MyBettingSites , Salita pleaded with the WBC to re-schedule the fight, despite plans being made for Whyte to face WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury early next year.
"All I ask for is a) reschedule the fight and b) a medical assessment to see how long Dillian Whyte is going to be out for. None of that has been respected so far," Salita claimed.
"I hope the WBC makes things right and sets the right precedent. Are we the wild west or are we an organised sport? I’m hopeful that we can get this rescheduled, but reading between the lines I'm not so sure."
If a re-scheduled fight with Whyte cannot be made, Wallin's manager is hoping a suitable arrangement can be made with Matchroom and alluded to potential agreement where the winner of Fury vs. Whyte faces Wallin.
"For sure it would be decent of Eddie to offer Wallin a decent and legitimate opportunity if it’s not rescheduled, that would be appropriate and the right thing to do," Salita said.
"At the very least it would be right to give Otto an opportunity for a decent purse. It would be very interesting if we were offered the winner or Tyson Fury versus Whyte if that is made."
